Thursday night in the opener , it became a pitcher’s duel with Jonathan Contin of the Seminoles facing veteran Paul Lizotte of the Hounds . The Seminoles picked up their first hit in the opening frame then did not see any hits till the 6th inning ..Lizotte seemed to be sailing beautifully until then . The Hounds took a 3-1 lead into the sixth . The Seminoles score 3 runs late in the game to take a 4-3 lead only to have the Hounds score two of their own on Dan Bidal’s clutch single to score the winning runs with one out . Paul Lizotte going all the way picked up his second victory giving up 4 runs (3 unearned) on 5 hits while fanning 4 batters and issuing 4 base on balls . Jonathan Contin went the distance and suffered the loss for the Seminoles . Dan Bidal of the Hounds led the way with a 2 for 3 performance and 3 RBI’s while Brendon Biederman hit 2 for 2 (2 base on balls) in a losing way for the First Nation Seminoles .
In the nightcap , the North Stars remained undefeated with a 8-4 victory over the Dog House . Though the final score may not indicate it , this was by far the best performance by the Dog House .
